Unfortunately, the quiet and calm of a cabin, the relaxation of the crackling fire and the awakening and adventure of a Cat Ski trip don't translate to the real issues of everyday life. It's one thing to be able to find clarity in a situation such as that, it's entirely different to find that same clarity in the stresses of everyday life.
That's right, my Tibetan prayer flags don't do me a bit of good when the kids are fighting, when my wife and I have a disagreement, my snowshoes don't solve the problem and when the bills are piling up the only thing the crackle of the fire can do is, well, you get the picture.
So where is the true sense of balance? I certainly haven't found it yet. I have certainly used this time to center myself and be more aware of life. So, my search will continue, and with any luck, begin to have a better understanding of myself, my life, my family and my purpose.
Everyday is a journey and an adventure, wherever you are. Every experience is an opportunity for growth. If you pick and choose what you want to accept and what you want to avoid you are only limiting the person you can become. Today, for the first time, I can say that I see it as such.
I've got a long way to go………
Cheers
